HELLO! TRAVELS TO AHMEDABAD TO MEET THE ROYALS OF GUJARAT. RIDDHIRAJ AND DIVYAJYOTI SINGH OF DANTA, KUNWARANI PADMINI SINH OF CHHOTA UDEPUR, GITANJALI KUMARI IDAR AND VRISHANKADITYA PARMAR OF SANTRAMPUR SHARE A TREASURE TROVE OF FESTIVE STORIES FROM THEIR PALACE TRADITIONS
WHO: Riddhiraj is the son of Maharana Mahipendra Singhji and Maharani Chandra Kumari of Danta, Gujarat. Divyajyoti is the daughter of Gajapati Maharaja Dibyasingha Deb and Maharani Lilavati Dei of Puri. The family runs the Bhavani Villa Palace. Riddhiraj has been a cricketer while his wife is an avid painter.
HISTORY AND HIGHLIGHTS: Danta, a former princely state of Gujarat has been ruled by the Parmar dynasty going back to Raja Vikramaditya’s time. The legacy of the Parmars originated in Ujjain and travelled among other places to Bhopal, Sind and to Chandravati, now close to the present day Abu Road. The Parmars shifted to Tarsang and, finally, to Danta about 500 years ago. Danta is situated in the Aravalli Hills and has lush green forests. A fortunate visitor could even spot a panther, bear, hyena, wild boar or antelope along the way to the palace.
DIWALI TRADITIONS: The most revered tradition, which is the highlight of the royal Danta family, is the privilege of doing the Asthami Yagna at the Ambaji temple, which is situated in Ambaji that was a part of the former Danta state. After the Navratras, Diwali is celebrated in Danta at the palace with the family dressed up traditionally to welcome the festival of lights. One day before Diwali, the family observes Kali Chaudas, a puja that is performed in the palace temple in Danta.”
